See The Constellation Lyrics
I lay my head on the railroad track
Stare at the sky all painted up
Your train is gone, won't be coming back.
See the constellation ride across the sky
No cigar, no lady on his arm
Just a guy made of dots and lines.
Two years ago - moved from my town
I was looking up past the city lights
But the city lights got in my way.
I found my mind on the ground below
I was looking down - it was looking back
I was in the sky all dressed in black.
Can you hear what i see in the sky?
Stare at the sky all painted up
Your train is gone, won't be coming back.
No cigar, no lady on his arm
Just a guy made of dots and lines.
I was looking up past the city lights
But the city lights got in my way.
I was looking down - it was looking back
I was in the sky all dressed in black.

Thanks James, you great
haha. thanks :-) i love this song.
This song, to me, is about seeing yourself the way others see you and not deluding yourself.
"found my mind on the ground below.. in the sky all dressed in black" is him realizing that accomplishments, outward appearance and the thoughts you have are what people care about.
It seems like a few tmbg songs are about the parts of the personality and dealing with conflicts between them.
I always took it as a straight forward song about Orion.
